Patented Mar. 17, 1931 l l l STATES PATENT FFICE EDUARD MERZINGER, OF DRESDEN, GERMANY :BUCKLE Application filed February 10, 1928, Serial No. 253,485, and'in Czechoslovakia December 2, 1927.

The invention relates to a buckle and consists essentially in this that it is provided with an auxiliary slide which is displaceably mounted on the buckle. rIhis auxiliary slide is provided with slots for the insertion of the band, which are arranged to correspond with those in the buchi- T he eiiect of the auxil iary slide is that by the pull exerted on the band, the slide is displaced in the direotion .10 of the same, so that the band is held irmly between corresponding edges of the slots in the auxiliary slide and the buckle.

The drawing illustrates a oonstruotional iorrn of the buckle, Figure l showing a longitudinal section and Figure Q a view from below. y

The buckle l has slots through which passes the band 3. Similar slots l areprovided in an auxiliary slide 5, which is held l0 on the buckle by a stud 6 and can slide laterally, as the stud 6 passes through a slot 7 in the auxiliary slide.

lWhen the band 3 is pulled in the direction of the arrow a' indicated in Figure l, the

auxiliary slide 5 is slid laterally in the same direction. By this means the band is gripped between the corresponding edges of the slots 2 and a of the buckle and the auxiliary slide.

What I claim is A buckle comprising in combination two superposed unlanged plates, a longitudinal slot in the lower of said plates, a stud passed through said longitudinal slot and secured centrally on the upper plate said stud having ""H a head thereon for holding the saidplates slidably together, transverse slots lin said lower plate one on each side of said vlongitudinal slot and transverse slots in said upper plate one on each side of said stud, said transverse slots of the one plate being adapted to align with the corresponding transverse slots of the other pate, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this speciiication.
